The day’s events draw to a close at the Vitality Stadium as leaders Chelsea bid to extend the gap at the top with Spurs breathing down their necks.

From a Fantasy perspective, Eden Hazard is now perhaps now the main draw in the Blues camp – he’s been acquired by over 94,000 FPL managers ahead of today’s deadline, while team-mate Diego Costa has been jettisoned from 103,000+ squads.

Costa is backed by more than 447,000 (10.1%) with the captaincy but has delivered just two goals in his last eight Gameweeks. Meanwhile, Hazard, for all his increase in popularity, has just a single goal from his last six away trips.

In defence, Chelsea have gone eight Gameweeks without delivering a clean sheet and will be tested severely by a lively Bournemouth attack on home turf.

Josh King is undoubtedly their key Fantasy asset – he’s produced five goals and an assist in his last five Gameweeks and 56,000+ have swooped for the Cherries midfielder ahead this evening’s encounter.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    2. Messiah Hazard

      Noooooo

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Why not two red cards?

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Don't need to concentrate ppl into Aguero, Ibra and Kane

    These Chelsea muppets have been trolling me all season. Just wrap up the league and get on your holidays already.

      +1. Fooking Diego Costa. Hope China takes him away.

    If one of King or Alonso get 6+ here I'll take it.

        9 years, 5 days ago

        Resisted Eriksen.

        It was tough.

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      My biggest fpl trolls this year: Kane + Hazard
      My most reliable fpl player: Lukaku

      Who would have thought that at the beginning of the season! 😀

    4. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Hazard or Sanchez that is the question

      1. itwaswritten
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Sánchez is the answer. No bias, facts only.

      2. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Both 😎

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      May be time for that Sanchez to Hazard transfer.

      1. Individual
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Haha is it November again ??

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Def keeping Sanchez another week, with Chelsea vs Manu ahead

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Yeah, I'll probably do the same.

      3. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Hazard being at Old Trafford is very off putting.

    6. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Funny how Costa is no. 1 in the "Can't Hit A Barn Door" table.

    7. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Costa shot was hitting the corner flag.

      Owners lucky to get an assist.

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        It was actually an intercepted pass to Alonso who would've whipped the ball back in for Costa to tap in... I'd see we're unlucky not to get a Costa goal, Alonso assist tbh

    8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Costa shooting is much to be desired

    9. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Aguero owners,
      are you getting Kane in for him for the next GW?

      Yes?
      No?

      1. SUPERMAN
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Done already

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Think I'm going to give Aguero another week

      3. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Yes, tonight.

      4. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        No. Selling Costa

      5. drughi
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        maybe

      6. La Vida Latte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Dont think so

      7. Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Definite no

      8. Arn De Gothia
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        No

    10. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 9 Years

      Why didn't de roon play today?

    11. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Think I've owned Hazard for 10 games and got 1 goal and 1 assist out of him lol

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        ...yep, this happened to me too.

        What page? Link?

    13. Dreams

      Bendtner scored an own goal.

    14. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Think I'm going to WC... Gonna go for a front 7 of Aguero, Costa, Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Coutinho, Hazard... Looks deadly and hopefully will stop my constant red arrows... That said, haven't considered DWGs fully...

      1. EL_FENOMENO
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Costa? No thank you

        1. DantheManinaPan
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          Why not?

          1. Dannyb
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            He's having been awful might have something to do with it.

          2. EL_FENOMENO
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Ibra/Lukaku far better picks IMO

            1. DantheManinaPan
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 4 days ago

              Forgot about Lukaku - that leaves me more money for defence as well. Thanks 😛

      2. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        3 Spurs attack?!

        1. DantheManinaPan
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          why not?

        2. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          That's the dream ticket at the moment...scoring for fun

    15. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Had that rebound not been deflected by Courtois's leg, King would have had a tap in.

    16. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Gayle is made out of paper. Definitely not an option next year

    17. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      I own Costa and Hazard 😎

      1. itwaswritten
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Costa didn't score though. It's counted as Adam Smith own goal.

      A repost from other thread...

      Mignolet (Grant)
      Baines McAuley Rojo BDavies (Chambers)
      Alli Firminho Redmond Siggy (Fraser)
      Lukaku Aguero (Llorente)

      No spare cash. 2FT. Considering one of the following. Though loathe to ditch Lukaku before Burnley at home...

      a) Mignolet Aguero -> DdG Kane/Ibra
      b) McAuley Aguero -> Valencia Kane/Ibra
      c) Fraser Aguero -> Zaha Kane/Ibra
      d) Lukaku -> Kane with downgrade of Siggy (Zaha maybe)
      e) Get rid of Siggy and Llorente
      f) Wait to see what happens the rest of the weekend...

    19. Who Ate All Depays?

      Should I WC this team....need to get rid of few frustrating players?

      Grant
      Walker / Alonso / Valencia
      Sanchez / Alli / Lanzini / Coutinho
      Aguero / Lukaku / Origi
      (Pickford / Brunt / Fletcher / Amat)

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        no

      2. Vedas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Don't see the need for a wc, nothing 2-3 transfers can't fix.

    20. Feloh

      hazard redcard please, or penalty miss.

      1. Pique boo

      Costa trying to give all the Bournemouth defenders own goals

    22. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      So the Arsenal DGW news was supposed to have dropped yesterday, more likely to break on Monday now?

    23. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Chelsea is 1st because they have only 1 English player in their starting team.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Did you go to idiot school or are you a natural?

        1. itwaswritten
          • 9 Years

          The anger... LMAO!

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            Just read an article about internet slang. "Lmao" is the most used word by kids between 14-16.

          Calm down WR... This guy is always around giving reasoned in depth opinions throughout the week, as well as flaunting his intelligence on weekends 😉

      2. Vedas

        Why weren't they first last season then?

        1. itwaswritten
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 days ago

          They have a better coach now.

          1. Business Cat
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 days ago

            ...so surely that means they're first because they have a better coach this year...given the team is basically the same as last year.

      3. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Costa?

      4. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Two Dave's & a Gary holding it together say different 😉

      5. Pique boo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Makes sense

      6. Dreams
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        By your logic, spurs should have only 2 which is not the case.

    24. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 days ago

      Think I'm just going to ignore the GW34 DGW and get the big hitters in. Can't get big hitters and useless fodder like Zaha and Boro defenders without major hits.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 days ago

        Brought Gibson for today and he got me 8 points. 😉

        1. fedolefan

          No WC though for me.

    25. Sess!

      44pts with pickford, Sanchez, Lukaku and ibra (c) to come. How am I looking?
